<h1 class="whs1">Creating a Funnel widget</h1>
<p class="whs2">The 
 Funnel widget can be used for a wide variety of business purposes, including 
 application management, click management, pipeline analyses for sales 
 forecasts, and sales process analysis. The widget is a variation of a 
 stacked percent bar chart that displays data that adds up to 100%.</p>
<p class="whs2"><img src="images/defining_funnel_widget.gif" width="678px" height="481px" border="0" class="img_whs3"></p>
<p class="whs2">Therefore, 
 it can allow analysts to visualize the percent contribution of sales data 
 or the stages in a sales process and reveal the amount of potential revenue 
 for each stage. When the widget is used to analyze a sales process, analysts 
 can use the widget to drill down to key metrics such as deal size, profit 
 potential, and probability of closing. The widget can also be used to 
 identify potential problem areas in an organization’s sales processes.</p>
